From few of the world class talks in IT field , I could gather some inspirational rules for today's young IT students , aspirants , entrepreneurs and faculty .
1. Forget the hype .
What matters to You and your passion is of top priority .If you run behind the hype , you are going to fall in trap which makes you clueless .
2. Choose your galaxy wisely.
Select your working domain / area , looking at your strengths and weaknesses . Link your likes with the need of community .
3. Learn about software history .
You must be a well read person and should take all updates about the happenings in the industry .History always helps us to avoid mistakes and understand the evolution .
4. Keep on learning -
(one programming language every year and 6 books per year)
Learning should not get stopped till the death . Learning keeps you fresh , genuine and gives independence .
5. Teach .
Teaching is the best way to get knowledge . Make small groups and start conducting tech talks . It gives realization of our standard .
6. Know your worth .
Take a Pride in what you do .Increase your value and know your worth .People should not take you lightly .
7. Send the elevator down .
Do not keep the things and stuff with you .Give it to others with open hand . River flows and water remains fresh . Do not be a Tank .
8. Follow your gut .
Listen to your Heart .It already knows , what you truly want to become . But then Give 100 % .
9.Fight complexity
There is no life without struggle .Do not be afraid of complex situations . Be a part of a solution and not of a problem .
10 .Share the ideas ....
You will be accepted and widely recognized , only if you share the ideas . Increase your circle .You will get new ideas only if you share yours .Do not be individualist , be a Team player .
All the Best !!
